Rice, coffee, and pepper prices in the Mekong River Delta region have been decreasing in the past week. Rice prices have slightly decreased, with the highest price being 6,900 VND / kg and the average price nearly 6,400 VND / kg. Ordinary paddy at the warehouse also decreased by an average of 330 VND / kg. Coffee prices in the Central Highlands region saw a sharp decline and fell below the 32,000 VND / kg mark. Pepper prices are entering a cycle of "shaking," with a sudden and rapid increase causing turmoil. The majority of farmers are keeping their goods and not selling, while agents are collecting goods to sell mainly to speculators.
